How to burn our candles
Before lighting your candle, move any loose flowers away from the flame. Larger flowers and crystals may be removed and laid next to the candle. Use a long lighter or matches to light the candle. Make sure that the wick is centered and not touching any of the crystals or flowers. To avoid candle “tunneling” always burn candles until the wax pools to the edge of the glass, this is especially important for the first burn. After the crystals have sunken into the wax, you should keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch. If your candle isn't in a drafty room while burning and you find that the flame is dancing, you'll need to trim the wick to keep the flame under control and to avoid soot from accumulating around the jar.
Why I chose a coconut + Soy wax blend
Candles are the perfect way to add mood and atmosphere to your home. They can instantly create a calming and soothing environment, perfect for unwinding and grounding yourself after a long day or spending quality time with loved ones. But unfortunately not all candles are created equal. Coconut soy wax candles offer an array of benefits that traditional paraffin candles don’t have.
Coconut soy wax is made from natural ingredients that are sustainable and eco-friendly, Coconut soy wax candles produce little to no soot, making them ideal for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. Because they do not emit any toxic substances into the air like paraffin does, your family and pets can enjoy the ambience without the worry of potential health risks.
